(NEWSER) – A Florida man has been arrested for apparently loving donuts as much as he loves a deal. Charles "Chuck" Barry got fired up at a local Dunkin' Donuts when employees denied him a 10% discount he'd been accustomed to getting. That's when Barry flashed a sheriff's badge and a holstered gun and said, "See, I am a cop!" the Orlando Sentinel reports. Claiming first to be a US marshal, then an air marshal, Barry—a printer, fax, and copy machine supplier—demanded he get his hands on some donuts; he didn't. He later left, only to return the very next day.
